Edit: this was a joke, which was misinterpreted by the OP, out of respect I have removed it.
Didn't they calculate that if you did jump into an open volcano, that you'd basically explode before you even touched down?
Edit: I'm getting old and must be misremembering this. https://youtu.be/Q1blQRrM4TA
Explode? That's certainly news to me!
Pop like a hotdog?
Not just that but magma is pretty damn dense. It’s gonna be like hitting solid rock and then immediately burning up.
Edit: misunderstandings that have been clarified
Woah, not my intention at all, sorry. It was just a joke, as I assumed your "jump in a volcano" statement was a joke.
Absolutely zero ill intent, I apologise completely. I'll edit the comment.
Oh my bad, I was a bit touchy about it in my response. I appreciate the clarifying, it’s all about intentions and I see that you had good intentions there so we’re square. I’ll edit mine to indicate a misunderstanding so you aren’t left with the tenth degree about it.
